How Innovative
Surface Forms
Morphology
innovate = in + nov + ate
The lexical parts correspond to in- + nov- + -ate (Latin-derived), so the meaning 'make new' is recoverable for learners familiar with 'innovation' or 'new', but the combining form 'nov' is not a standalone English word and the Latinate morphology may obscure the relation for many B1 learners.
Etymology
Innovate comes from Latin parts in- 'into' and novare 'make new', the same root behind the English word novel 'new'. So to innovate is to 'make something new', like new ideas, products, or ways of working.
